He has had top 10 defenses in the past w/o the rushes coming off the line. I'll agree it will help but he knows his D. Last year we had to many injuries on the line and in the back field to do what he wanted to do. hopefully this year we will have fresh legs out there on most plays and still be able to get the rush.

You still need talent at defensive line. I don't care how clever a defensive coordinator says his scheme is -- you can't have bums at defensive tackle and defensive end.

Right now, Cornelius Griffin and Andre Carter are simply adequate. They're not stellar, and nobody in the front four gets penetration anymore. If we stand pat with what we have, it's going to be a long season. Let's hope they have more tricks up their sleeve for the D-line.

I really like this pick, I called it by the way in the call your pick thread, but enought of that. I know many of you do not like this pick but you have to look at the d-line players we could've taken all were boom busts type of players. Laron Landry was the safest pick and the best defensive player in the draft, I think we did a great job with this pick.

Any news on what number he'll wear, don't think anyone important on the roster has #30; which he wore at LSU.

Hell of a Tandem at Safety! Great Move!

Looks like we don't need to worry about D-line much anymore, since Gibbs said that Blache and Gregg are satisfied with Golston and Montgoemry.. Guess they developed well through out the off season or something..

stu_nna · 04-28-2007, 04:56 PM

I second that run defense will improve, tackling will improve, coverage will also. I dare recievers to go over the middle...

Daseal · 04-28-2007, 04:59 PM

This was the best player on the board and was the right pick!

EXoffender · 04-28-2007, 05:21 PM

Landry is the best defensive player in the draft. Gibbs said they did not get a lot of calls when it was thier time to pick. We did the right thing and will address the DL and LBs though FA.

5RINGS · 04-28-2007, 05:49 PM

Now you guys have the FS that will tell Taylor where he needs to be like Clark used to .

Taylor will be around the LOS much more this year, as he isn't the ball hawk that Landry is.

Make no mistake about Landry, you now have the Best safety tandem in professional Football.

After all the wheelin' and dealin', are you sastified with drafting Purdue DE Anthony Spencer in the first round? Somehow, I wouldn't be questioning this pick if Parcells was still a part of the process.

I bet Pastabelly will be sick after writing such a great review about a redskin...
